Bam Adebayo added his name to the NBA history books last week when he scored 83 points against the Wizards, the second-most scored in a single game since Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point performance in 1962.
At first, it seemed that people were celebrating Adebayo’s incredible feat. But, as time has gone on, there has been a debate bubbling about how Adebayo reached 83 points—36 of those points were from free throws alone. The Heat star set a record for free throws both attempted and converted on the night as he went 36-for-43. He went to the line 13 times in the final seven minutes, in fact.
